Small archaeological museum with finds from the Neolithic to the Lucanian age discovered in the Calore valley, among caves and hilltops.

The Antiquarium collects the archaeological finds from the area of Laurino and the upper Calore valley, inhabited since the late Neolithic, between the 4th and 3rd millennia BC. Six display cases show terracotta vessels, tools and other objects from several excavation campaigns in nearby villages. We like discovering how ancient the human presence in these valleys is.The finds span several prehistoric cultures, from the Diana culture to the Gaudo culture and the Bronze Age, with calcified skulls and objects from the Fraulusi cave. The tour ends with pottery from the time of the Lucanians, between the 4th and 3rd centuries BC. We recommend combining the visit with the nearby Collegiate Church.
